Abstract (en)

The present invention comprises an equalizing structure (10) for a receiving device of a wireless communication system, in which two or more transmit signals transmitted in parallel from one or more transmitters are received in receive signal vectors representing two or more receive data streams, said signals comprising information modulated onto carrier signals according to a modulation scheme, wherein all possible transmit signals are represented by candidate constellation values in the signal constellation of said modulation scheme, comprising, a selector (14) adapted to select one of the two or more transmit signals, an estimator (15) adapted to calculate, for at least some candidate constellation values for the selected transmit signal, an estimate constellation value for the non selected one(s) of said transmit signal(s) by interference cancellation calculation in order to obtain candidate signal vectors for each of said at least some candidate constellation values, each candidate signal vector comprising one of said at least some candidate constellation values for the selected transmit signal and the estimate constellation value for the corresponding non selected one(s) of said transmit signal(s), wherein channel estimation values used in the interference cancellation calculation are only updated in case that new channel estimation values are obtained, and a maximum likelihood detector (16) adapted to detect one of said candidate signal vectors having a minimum Euclidean distance to a respective receive signal vector as a most likely transmit signal vector. The invention further comprises a corresponding equalizing method and a computer program performing said method.
